Contextual help application

Hello !

I'm looking for a tool that allows to build contextual help in Tcl8.0 / Tk8.0 with a "content" "back" "forward" and hypertext facilities. The pages should be written in HTML (if possible). This help window would be called from a "help" button from my own application.

Does such a tool exist ?

thanks a lot...

I'd look into SurfIt!, and perhaps modifying it to your purposes. I did something similar, but never really finished it (and don't know if I ever will...).

Perhaps some of the folk using any of the various help systems listed in <URL:http://www.teraform.com/%7Elvirden/tcl-faq/part4.html> or <URL:http://www.teraform.com/%7Elvirden/tcl-faq/part5.html> can provide input as to how well they work under Tk 8? --
